The Middle Ground Mic

Tired of partisan bullshit tearing America apart while politicians hide behind excuses and sacred cows get endless protection? Step into The MiddleGround Mic, the no-compromise centrist politics podcast that refuses to play nice with extremes. No Left. No Right. Forward. Hosted by Joseph Steagall, we deliver militant centrism at full throttle — ripping apart hypocrisy from every angle, calling out the nonsense on both sides, and hammering pragmatic, zero-BS fixes for the real fights: elections, foreign policy disasters, border security failures, economic meltdown, and community breakdowns in this fractured mess of a country.

Regularly hitting the top 30 in U.S. News Commentary with over 750,000 downloads and rising fast, we bring raw, bipartisan truth from thought leaders, journalists, policymakers, and actual people — not scripted talking heads. This is the honesty, clarity, and politics without tribal loyalty that the mainstream media won’t touch.

Being MiddleGround or centrist isn’t weakness or fence-sitting — it’s being a straight-up warrior against the insanity of echo chambers, armed with facts and the spine to say what everyone else is too scared to. If you’re independent, moderate, or just sick of the screaming on both ends, lock in for no-fluff episodes that cut through the noise, rebuild real trust, and force real progress.
